How McCain can win: health insurance
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What if Sen. John McCain endorsed an emergency health insurance program for the thousands of workers losing their jobs in the current economic downturn? It could be as simple as a temporary expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) which Congress tried to expand last year, only to see President Bush veto it.
Some states already allow adults to enroll in SCHIP. If McCain proposed an emergency expansion measure this summer- could Speaker Nancy Pelosi oppose it? Would that not show GOP empathy for workers down on their luck? It may strike some in th GOP as a government giveaway program - but those critics likely had no problem cashing their stimulus checks that have been flooding American mailboxes in recent weeks.
